Remer, Georges-Pierre & Hoogerwoerd, PLLC

Employment and labor focus

The firm's stated client base includes individual workers and businesses of varying sizes. Remer, Georges-Pierre & Hoogerwoerd, PLLC handles employment and labor matters under Florida and federal law. The firm is based in Coral Gables and has a second office in Orlando. Its work reaches both workplace disputes and advisory matters.

For employees, the listed areas include discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, whistleblower claims, unpaid wages, overtime, and injuries on the job. These categories can overlap within one workplace dispute. An employee may raise concerns about conduct, pay, discipline, or dismissal through the same set of events. The governing law and available remedies depend on the facts and the legal basis for each claim.

The firm also represents employers. Its website identifies severance agreements, non-compete agreements, contract negotiation, payroll audits, and commercial litigation. This gives the team a view of workplace issues from both sides of the employment relationship. In my opinion, that dual client base is one of the clearest features of the firm's stated practice.

How employment claims usually develop

Employment matters often begin with a review of the working relationship and the events that led to the dispute. Relevant records can include employment contracts, workplace policies, pay statements, schedules, performance records, messages, and written complaints. Witness accounts may help establish when an employer or employee took a particular action. The applicable law then shapes the next procedural step.

Discrimination and harassment claims often require close attention to the protected status at issue and the conduct alleged. The timing of complaints, discipline, promotion decisions, or termination can affect the analysis. Agency filings may also apply before a lawsuit moves forward. Filing rules and deadlines vary with the claim, so early document review can matter.

Wrongful termination and whistleblower disputes raise their own questions. A lawyer may examine the stated reason for the discharge, the employee's reports, and the response by management. The source of the claimed legal protection also matters because whistleblower rights arise under different statutes. Each statute can define protected activity and available relief in a different way.

Wage, contract, and workplace advisory work

Unpaid wage and overtime cases usually depend on detailed work and payroll records. The inquiry may cover hours worked, pay methods, job duties, and the employer's classification of the worker. Managers and payroll personnel may hold records that clarify disputed entries. Federal and Florida rules can both affect the analysis.

Payroll audits address related concerns before or during a dispute. Businesses may review timekeeping practices, worker classifications, and payroll calculations. Contract negotiation can cover duties, compensation terms, restrictions, and separation provisions. The firm's listed work with severance and non-compete agreements places it in matters that arise when employment begins, changes, or ends.

Commercial litigation adds a business dispute component to the practice. Such cases often involve contracts, records, witness testimony, and competing accounts of performance. Courts may resolve early motions, supervise discovery, and set the case for trial when the parties do not reach an agreement. The firm's website names commercial litigation without describing particular cases or outcomes.

How the team is built

The website names three partners: Jason S. Remer, Anthony M. Georges-Pierre, and Peter M. Hoogerwoerd. Their shared leadership sits above a team with several stated roles. The firm reports more than 50 years of combined experience. It does not assign that total among individual lawyers.

Olga Medyukh holds an of counsel role, while Samuel Gonzalez is an associate attorney. Jorge Geraige is the litigation coordinator. These titles identify legal and case support responsibilities within the team. The website also lists Mark S. Edwards in memoriam as an equity partner.

The available team information centers on names and positions. It gives prospective clients a clear view of the firm's current partner structure and the other roles it names. The site does not provide individual biographies, law schools, or admission years in the material reviewed. As a reviewer, the stated titles offer the soundest basis for describing how the team is arranged.

Personal injury case coverage

The firm also handles personal injury matters involving car, truck, and bus accidents. Its listed work includes medical malpractice, wrongful death, defective products, and premises liability. These cases differ in their legal elements and sources of proof. The website groups them alongside the firm's employment and labor work.

Accident claims commonly require records about the event, the parties involved, and the claimed injuries. Police reports, photographs, witness accounts, medical records, and vehicle information may become relevant. Insurers often investigate fault and the extent of the claimed loss. Litigation may include written discovery, depositions, motions, and trial preparation.

Medical malpractice and defective product claims can require technical records and qualified professional opinions. Wrongful death matters also require proof of the legal relationship between the deceased person and those seeking recovery. Premises liability cases usually examine property conditions, notice, and the actions of the people involved. These are general features of the case types the firm lists.

Florida reach and client access

The two-office structure gives the firm a presence in South and Central Florida. The website names Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe, and Orange counties among the areas it serves. It also states that the firm works with clients in cities across Florida. That geographic reach applies to the range of matters described on its pages.

Spanish-language service is available. This can help Spanish-speaking employees, business owners, and injury clients discuss records and events in their preferred language. The firm's published profile combines Florida and federal employment work with business counseling, commercial disputes, and personal injury cases. Its named service area extends across the five listed counties and other Florida communities.

Individual attorney practice details

The individual attorney profiles add detail to the directory record. Jason S. Remer's profile places employee benefits and ERISA within his employment work. Employment contract matters also appear in his profile. His injury work includes motorcycle and construction accidents, while brain injury is another named claim area. These entries give a more specific account of the subjects associated with his practice.

Peter M. Hoogerwoerd's profile identifies appellate matters, class actions, general civil litigation, professional malpractice, architects and engineers, directors and officers, and fiduciary litigation. This profile extends into forms of civil and professional dispute work that are not described elsewhere in the firm's overview.

Anthony Maximillien Georges-Pierre's professional record names workers compensation as one of his practice areas. Olga Medyukh's record also identifies workers compensation. Her profile associates her with the Law Office of Olga Medyukh, PLLC, which has offices in Aventura, Florida, and Brooklyn, New York.

Education reflected in the attorney records

Hoogerwoerd earned his B.A. from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. He later earned an M.B.A. from the University of Miami. His J.D. is also from the University of Miami. The education listed for Mark S. Edwards includes a law degree from the University of Miami School of Law in 1991. These are the academic details available for the named attorneys in the supplied profiles.

Contact and fee information

The firm's Coral Gables street address is 2745 Ponce De Leon Boulevard. Its published telephone number is (877) 757-2828, with 877-757-2828 listed as an alternate rendering of the same number.

For personal injury cases, the firm states that it works on a contingency basis. Under the published description, clients owe fees only if the case is won. The record connects this arrangement specifically with the firm's personal injury work.
